Welcome to the Bali Hai...

...you can check in, but you can't check out! No, that's not the kind of restaurant this is, but it is touristy and very pricey!

Nevertheless, we had an amazing steamed white pomfret here Teochew Style. Kong Kong discovered this place when Vincent's Aunt threw a massive, decadent birthday party here.

We ate pretty good seafood throughout the night...

The kids were happy!

We had pepper crab.








Plain fried fish. Vegetables in sambal

 

But that white pomfret. First of all, it was steamed perfectly--center bone still pink, and flesh next to it still slightly translucent. 

Then the broth that the mushrooms, preserved vegetables and salted plum produced as it steamed was a heady elixir that we drank it up! 

Of all the steamed pomfret dishes eaten over the decades, this was easily in the Top 3 best!

Ian and Aria were happy to gawk at the live seafood after their meal.

 

Finger licking goodness!
